Carl Icahn warned against trading stocks, following the crowd, and getting too cocky in a recent documentary.
4."It's sort of a colorful term, 'corporate raider,' but it's far from the truth. It's absolutely ridiculous related to what we do. It's the opposite of what we do. We bring things to the party. We don't raid them and take them out. That's why I think eventually it was changed to 'activist.' But activist or raider, I haven't changed what I do one iota. Call me whatever you want.
7."Coming up with a new idea to beat the competitors, that gets me excited.The money is just a goal. It's like the explorers, why do they keep doing it? They believe in going for the gold, like Cortes and these guys. But I think the actual finding and doing is much more exciting than having it." 10."The wealth gap between the very rich and the very poor is getting wider and wider. People on Wall Street are tremendously overpaid. The investment bankers make ridiculous incomes, relative to what they contribute. Part of it is the ridiculous amount of money that top management is paid for doing a poor job. Most CEOs are way overpaid. That's not even a secret."
